Moreover reintroduces free RSS...but there's a catch

Moreover Technologies re-introduced their "free" RSS feeds however there's a catch.  The feeds are now advertising-supported.

The company now plans to make money from an "intelligent" advertising system that pairs targeted promotions with news feeds, Moreover CEO Jim Pitkow said. People can sign up to receive headlines on a news-reader Web page, and they will receive one related text ad per day, which should mean they won't be inundated with ads.

"We can control the frequency with which ads are placed," Pitkow said.

Hype about the promise of RSS has been seismic, but the question of how to profit from the news-syndication technology has remained unanswered for many Web outfits and investors. Several companies, including Moreover, are attempting to find the answer in online advertising.
